Road scribbling

roads in the public transport areas

Dear athletes, supporters, fans and friends of IRONMAN,

We kindly ask you to take some time to read the following request carefully:

We would like to make you aware of a topic which has happened several times in the past years at the Mainova IRONMAN European Championship: painting of the roads in the public transport areas.
The idea behind the motivation of “your” athletes and to send him/her some greetings out on the race course is generally really commendable, BUT these paintings become more and more a problem for us as an organizer. This unfortunately affects granting a permission for the courses of the race.

Hence we have a very important request to you:
Especially within the Mainova IRONMAN European Championship the approving authorities point out that these paintings affects the traffic safety, because driver could be confused too. Furthermore damages deriving therefrom, whose repair and removal is very costly and time-consuming.In interest of all parties involved, we would like to expressly point out that paintings of the roads in the public transport areas is STRICTLY PROHIBITED and will result in a report to the police.

If you still would like to “send” your athletes a message out on the course, we provide free-of-costs crayon at our Info-Point at the event area in the inner city, Mainkai. Only this crayon is allowed to be used for painting on the race course!
We kindly ask for your understanding and sense of responsibility!
